The Target Audience This report is intended to provide technical details on subsea cable installation techniques and associated potential environmental effects, particularly relating to the offshore wind farm industry. It aims to inform wind farm developers (and their consultants), stakeholders and regulators during the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) stage and consents process. 2 Summary In the UK today, wind farms are the most developed technology for the large scale production of renewable energy offshore. Given their position away from land-based urban development, offshore wind farms can be more substantial in terms of their area and power generation, compared to their land- based counterparts. Public support for offshore wind farms is generally high, particularly where evidence is presented through the formal consenting and consultation processes that developments are sited in an appropriate location, where environmental and negative economic effects are minimal or can be effectively managed. Integral to offshore wind farm development is the installation, operation and maintenance of the supporting electrical infrastructure of intra-array and export cables. This document aims to provide an information resource, intended for use by wind farm developers, consultants and regulators, on the range of cable installation techniques available, their likely environmental effects and potential mitigation, drawing on wind farm and other marine industry practice and experience. Through the collation of existing information and experience from a range of sources, the report will assist government, developers, stakeholders and regulators during the formal Environmental Impact Assessment and consenting process including stages of information provision, review and approval of such information. Importantly, an understanding of the difficulties and constraints of cable installation has been provided such that impacts can be avoided, reduced or minimised. This document also deals with the practical application of the installation and mitigation techniques available to developers so that the most relevant and up-to-date technology can be applied in the most appropriate situation. This document covers: ● The range of types of cables and small diameter pipelines currently installed in the EU shelf marine environment. Details are given for the types of cable typically used for offshore wind farms and also the types of cable commonly used in the telecommunications and power cable industries. ● The range of techniques used to install and maintain the aforementioned cables and pipelines. Information is provided on a range of commonly applied cable protection measures, and also of the burial assessment survey techniques, commonly used before cable installation. ● The physical changes or effects to the seabed and sub-surface sediments expected to occur during cabling activities. The range of sediment types likely to be encountered during cable burial operations is discussed, with the level of sediment disturbance that is likely to occur during cable burial for each technique. 3 Review of Cabling Techniques and Environmental Effects Applicable to the Offshore Wind Farm Industry – Technical Report ● The potential environmental impacts that could occur during the installation and maintenance of subsea cables. Impacts are described and discussed for intertidal habitats, subtidal ecology, natural fish resources, commercial fisheries, marine mammals, ornithology, shipping and navigation, seascape and visual character, and marine and coastal archaeology. Impacts are divided into those that could cause potentially significant impacts and those that may arise but are unlikely to cause significant effects. ● Mitigation measures that can be used to reduce the level of significance of environmental effects. ● Examples of good practice measures that could be adopted during all phases of project planning and used in conjunction with mitigation measures to reduce potential disturbance from cabling activities; and ● Knowledge gaps identified during this review, including gaps in understanding of the actual environmental impacts resulting from cable burial activities. The key impacts relating to cable laying in the marine environment occur during the installation process. Cable burial and other protection measures (i.e. outer protective cable armouring, concrete and frond mattresses, rock dumping, and grout / sand bags) are used in order to reduce the risk of damage to the cable and to ensure the safety of other users of the sea. Where cables are not afforded adequate protection, damage can occur through abrasion (i.e. on rocky seabed types) and interaction with human activities such as snagging or entanglement from bottom trawl fishing gear, anchoring or navigational dredging. Dependant upon prevailing conditions of depth, seabed morphology, hydrodynamics and geology, a range of cable burial technology is available to developers, such as cable ploughs, tracked burial machines, free swimming remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and burial sleds. Induced changes to the prevailing physical conditions of an area, such as the suspension, dispersal and subsequent deposition of seabed sediments, changes to seabed morphology and the direct impacts associated with the presence and operation of cable burial equipment can lead to a range of potential environmental impacts. The nature, extent and significance of these impacts will be a function of site specific characteristics (i.e. seabed type, tidal and wave conditions) and the chosen installation method. The key potential environmental impacts, which can, in specific circumstances, be associated with cable burial, include: ● Disturbance to sessile, encrusting, and attached fauna and flora which can be dislodged/disturbed; ● Smothering of sessile species due to increased sediment deposition and side- cast; ● Damage to the filtering mechanisms of certain species, the gills of sensitive fish species and eggs and larvae from increases in suspended sediment and subsequent deposition; 4 ● The potential release of contaminants, previously retained in the sediment; ● Disturbance to important fisheries habitats such as spawning grounds, nursery grounds, feeding grounds, over-wintering areas for crustaceans, migration routes and shellfish beds; ● Disturbance to sensitive habitats, such as saltmarshes, biogenic reefs and eel grass beds; ● Noise and vibration impacts to fish and marine mammals; ● Electromagnetic field generation impacts to benthic species, fish and marine mammals; ● Risk of collision of marine mammals with cable installation vessels

  • Assessment of the Effects of Offshore Wind Farms on Birds
    ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTS OF OFFSHORE WIND FARMS ON BIRDS ETSU W/13/00565/REP DTI/Pub URN 01/1434 Contractor Ecology Consulting Prepared by S M Percival The work described in this report was carried out under contract as part of the DTI Sustainable Energy Programmes. The views and judgements expressed in this report are those of the contractor and do not necessarily reflect those of the DTI. First published 2001 © Crown copyright 2001 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report seeks to review current knowledge of the effects that offshore wind farms have on birds and to identify sensitive offshore locations where bird conservation interests and wind energy development may conflict. It seeks to provide information for all stakeholders in the development of offshore wind farms. The specific objectives of the project were to; (i) produce a review of the available reports, data and information relating to the effects of offshore wind farms on birds, (ii) establish the locations of offshore sites and areas that hold important bird populations, (iii) identify the bird migratory routes that may encroach upon prime offshore wind energy development areas, (iv) identify gaps and uncertainties in the existing knowledge and recommend further studies that are needed to address these, and (v) provide an inventory of planned and ongoing studies. There are currently only eight operational offshore wind farms, all within northern Europe. As a result, there are only a small number of studies of the effects of offshore wind farms on bird populations. At Lely, in the Netherlands, two diving duck species (pochard and tufted duck) have been studied to investigate their flight behaviour in the vicinity of wind turbines, mainly at night using radar tracking techniques.
